Lots of options for the theatrically inclined as arts companies kick off new seasons

It's not hot out there, but there are lots of hot options in Calgary's arts and entertainment scene this weekend. Here's our weekly roundup to give you some ideas.

Book of Mormon

It could be called a Broadway show tune on baptism that really sounds like it's a song about having sex for the first time. And if that makes you uncomfortable then you're on the right track with what to expect from The Book of Mormon.

For the uninitiated, The Book of Mormon is crass and downright blasphemous, so if you're sensitive to religious slander or extreme profanity, you might want to take a pass on this one.

The show, however, is mostly sold-out so get your tickets soon or risk missing out.

ArtWalk

If you're looking for daytime outdoor walking opportunities, then definitely check out the 35th annual Calgary ArtWalk. This free, family-friendly festival features 23 different galleries, studios and stops where you can experience a wide range of visual art in Calgary.

You don't have to know anything about art to take part.

There's a map of locations and you can walk, ride, or transit to and dozens of venues where there will be artist talks and tours, exhibitions, workshops and more.

There's no set course for the walk, so download the map and choose your own adventure.
